IVF/FET in Aug'13' - Aug'14' buddies wanted!!*13 BFP's!!**Updates on first page**

Plex, Yay, some good news, and reason to hope for more perhaps? :happydance:

lol yeah hopefully! Im praying for more lil follies to grow and have lovely mature eggies in each one too :thumbup:

How r you doing? I remember you saying that you had your appointment put back to Feb - is this still right? Has AF got you yet too? Im wishing the time away for you hun - im impatient to hear how those apps go! :D xx

Buny - :hugs:

It sounds like everyone is doing well. I've been reading but don't have time to fully catch up, so I'll send out one of these to everyone. :hugs:


Sending :hugs: right back to you hun :hugs: xx

Good ultrasound and appt with regular and high risk OBs today!! They indeed performed NT scan and combined with blood tests, we are good to go, no issue. Very relieved. Babies were quite active (mommy had to eat between appts). Actually baby A was covering its face and tech had a hard time getting a pic of nasal bone. Baby B was super bouncy and tech couldn't get the heart rate. Lol little troubles.


Exciting!! Sounds like you all crammed a lot of appointments, tests, scan into one day, dont blame you for needing to eat in between! Are you eating much more do you think? I wouldve thought all symptoms were double a singleton pregnancy. Sounds like theyre starting as they mean to go on :D bet youll have ur hands full with them when theyre born (in a good way of course!!) xx

Plex! !!! Woohoo!! I'm so happy for you! !

I got my base line today! ! My E2 came back 5.1 , at least 5 follicles so far, my uterine 6 is very thin. . They said all of that is excellent. . So I start my stims tonight. Gonalf 225. My lupron got cut to 10 units. I'm so happy! ! But my new fear of the needles continues.

Good luck with the stimms hun!! xx

Update:
We ladies go through so, so much. To have anyone say that we're not good enough or mother enough or whatever is just horrible. People like that should not be allowed the friendship of women like us! We have gone through too much to ever deserve the kind of crap this girl has said to me.

On a positive note: Now that I realize how much of an affect her words and behaviors have had on me, I've been able to see that I DON'T actually blame myself for my m/c. That was her, not me. In fact, the depression I was feeling has changed over to feeling incredibly positive about this FET cycle. I feel like I'm stronger now for realizing what his girl has been doing- especially since I'm putting my foot down and saying NO MORE>

I am brave, I am strong, and I sure as hell am a mother- to both my angel-baby and to my little blastocysts who I will be seeing soon. If she does not choose to recognize my children, that's her problem, not mine! I will love each of them until the day I die!

Well said!!! :thumbup: Just wanted to give you a BIG :hugs: she is so not worth you kind friendship :hugs: Also wanted to wish you tons of luck with you FET - will your hubby be able to make it to ET you think(i think i read earlier that you weren't sure)
Having such a rough night. DH and I came up to VA as I was invited to be here for a friend's pregnancy/birth, which she had originally invited me to before even getting pregnant, then talked all about it the last couple year. She was my first long-distance Childbirth Education Client during her last pregnancy a few years ago and we became really close friends after that.

During my short pregnancy she was super like: You have to be here!!! After I miscarried she started acting weird, but still asked me to be here (even though it's expensive for us to stay here, campgrounds in this area are expensive). Anyway, after we spent all that (non-refundable) money to be here, she started acting like she didn't really want me to come to the birth. Then a couple weeks ago, she made it really clear there would be no room for me at the birth.

Now, she's in labor telling me that if thing get busy she may want me to babysit her kids.

So not only am I not invited to the birth, now she wants me to watch her kids since she didn't bother to have a sitter or family member on call.

I really don't understand why, but I am incredibly hurt right now. It's like being shoved even further out of the Mommy's Only Club. It really meant so much to me that I could be there. And in some ways I knew it would be a really healing experience for me. (It would be the first birth I would have attended since my miscarriage. Actually, one of only a couple since our IF diagnosis when I quit working as a doula.)

Even worse: Even though I was this girl's Childbirth Educator during her last pregnancy and also acted as her doula in many regards, she told me the other day that she'd never hire someone who's not a mother (ie: ME, since apparently if you m/c your child, you're not a mother in her eyes). Wtf? I wasn't a mother before either.

I feel like I'm being punished for m/c'ing.

Sorry ladies. I don't understand at all why I am so upset right now.

Gosh what a cow! I would be feeling hurt, angry, betrayed and used. She certainly doesnt sound like a friend to me :hugs: Id be tempted to say that i was busy and not able to look after her kids the cheeky *****! Its also weird how she acting like your not good enough to help if youve not had kids which is complete bull. For all she know the doctors/nurses looking after her have none themselves :grr: sorry thats made me mad for u :hugs:

:happydance: Yay for AF!!! :happydance: xx

Plex :hugs: why are they so worried this early? I had the same. Very small follicles the first scan (maybe the second, too) and they upped my meds and added a couple extra days. Can you ask your FS if he can do that?

Dont think they were worried, its me really. I think i should be doing better as i have pcos i thought id over respond not struggle to produce them :( I asked for them to up my does on wednesday and they did so im now on 300iu of menopur which has helped grow my follies but not produce any more. xx


Sorry if ive missed anyone, i was just doing a quick couple o pages read back :) :hugs: to u all xx


Actually thats reminded me of something i didnt put in my original post - the nurse said that she thought i also had DOR which i didnt think was possible with pcos? Dont know if any of youve heard of that?

Started on my estrogen tabs today. Next Saturday we fly to Prague, then we'll have u/s to check lining on Monday. If all goes as planned, we'll have transfer the next Friday, January 31. Getting impatient already. :wacko:

Crikey thats a lot of meds to remember! why do they do they the endomitrial scratch, if you dont mind me asking? Im hoping that this will give you the best chance for your bfp possible hun :hugs: xx

Afm - im feeling incredibly bloated today, hoping thats a good sign! I go in for another scan 2moro at 12.15. Im just worried that some follies will have dissapeared or not progressed :dohh:
 
Bunny, yea!!! I'm so happy we will be doing this the same time! ! My injections are going so much better now that I am having DH give them to me. I became needle scared. I did it for the first 14 days and have had him doing it since. The shots on the tummy are less painful to me. I'm on day 4 of stims and I go to the Dr on Tuesday and Thursday. After that is yet to be determined.

Plex, try to distract yourself so you don't think of it constantly. Try to relax. Don't stress your body out. Mind of matter. I believe you will your body thru somethings. So think healthy thoughts. Think about how bloated you feel and imagine it's full of follies. Like meditation. It may seem silly but I've used t that before to stop my preterm labor when I was pregnant with my twins. It worked Even when the drugs didnt.
 
Postal - :hugs: thanks hun, ill try that :) xx

Ive now just managed to catch up (there abouts) so will update the front page. It seems like ive missed a few new comers to the thread so would like to say:

:hi: welcome Angela & Cntrygrl xx

Prayin - Hows things going towards your FET? xx
 
Hey ladies! Hope everyone is doing well today. I just purchased two IVF hypnosis programs last night and have started on one of them and will start on the other tonight. I'm really hoping that they help make this FET cycle less stressful, more positive, and also help me to feel like I'm "doing something" this cycle. I purchased the Assisted Conception program from thefertilemind.net and the IVF Companion program from thefertilebody.com. I am really excited about doing these!

This week is going to be a bit stressful. I have a dental visit tomorrow to have a crown put on a tooth I cracked, but the dentist has warned me that if it's cracked too deeply, I will have to have it removed. And if it has to be removed and I get pregnant this cycle, they won't be able to put in the fake tooth until after I deliver. I am really hoping it's only going to need a crown, otherwise I'm going to feel like a bit of a hobo!

Other than that, I'm working on putting together dried food bags to take with us to Prague- especially for on the plane. I've been dehydrating fruit, soaking/drying nuts, and next up I'm going to make some homemade beef jerky and lamb jerky. DH and I switched to Primal eating after my m/c and because of it, I am off Metformin, have normalized blood sugar (fasting avg = 85, down from 110!), and I've lost 20 lbs. I don't want to mess that up!

After that is yet to be determined.

Ooo! Day 4. I bet you're going to have some lovely follies to look at on Tuesday! How are you feeling from the stims? Noticing any changes?
 
Bunny, today I can feel my left ovary. I feel bloated and when my bladder is full my ovaries feel... noticeable. Hard to describe.but when I normally ovulate I can feel it as sharp pains. So it doesn't surprise me that I'm sensitive to it. Is this common?

Sounds like what I had. Whenever I was in the car, I could feel my ovaries shifting around with each bump. It also started around day 3 or 4 of stims for me. Super odd feeling~!
 
Waking up this morning, I feel bloated. My ovaries feel like I have sensitive squishy balls in my tummy. As soon as I got out of bed I looked at DH and said Yep. .I feel it.. hopefully that's good! I can't wait to go to the Dr tomorrow at 7:00 am. My post office is making me come to work after the apt and it's 1 1/2 hours away. I'm becoming concerned about working, because as a mail carrier I bend and stretch and twist from the waist about 800 times a day. Not to mention carrying up to 70 lb packages all tho that's more rare. And climbing in and out of the truck. A mail carrier job is very stressful and hard on your body. Idk. I'm used to it but the bend stretching twisting is what I'm worried about. I read that we shouldn't do that kind of stuff while stimming. It can cause your ovary to flip or pop or something really bad like that. Any one heart of this? Oh I'm day 5 stimming. Yeah!!
 
Right, I'm booked in for EC on Wed morning! I take my trigger shot at 10.30pm today :) a little disappointed still as I have 4 mature follicles and 2 that may or may not catch up which are about 14mm and 11mm so here's to hoping. Am going to try to drink loads of water and milk etc over the next couple of days

I'm getting nervous now - not about the procedure itself but about how many eggs they get :( xx
 
:wacko:Ugh. I feel so blah. I'm so bloated. My lower back hurts. I had to go to the store to buy 2 new pairs of pants because my belly is so much bigger. I'm grouchy too.
 
I'm in my loose tracksuit bottoms and a soft bra now for most of the time- I feel so uncomfy too.

When's it next scan postal? Xx
